Last call for 'Shove It!' at Polk County Heritage Gallery

Today is your last chance to see “Shove It!” at the Polk County Heritage Gallery. The display of custom-painted skateboards and folded paper toys drew quite a crowd for its opening party, with a mix of skaters and other folks who wandered in from Winefest, an I-Cubs game and a dance recital across the street at the Des Moines Civic Center. The show, open 11 a.m.-4:30 p.m. today at Second Avenue and Walnut Street, was set to close last week but was extended due to its popularity.
